The news from Ireland and the United States reminds us of Herod, of Pharaoh. What culture betrays its children?

The repeal of Ireland's Eighth Amendment, which guarantees the right to life of the unborn, has passed with a nearly 2-1 margin.

By enrolling in a largely pro-choice public health program I was able to articulate a pro-life vision that I could truly believe in.

The Irish bishops have warned that if the Eighth Amendment is repealed, legislation the government plans to introduce would make Ireland one of the most liberal abortion regimes in Europe. 

An estimated 75-100 pro-abortion advocates, some wearing black bandanas over their faces, screamed chants and waved signs, halting the National March for Life until marchers turned around and took a different route through the streets of downtown Ottawa.
